Cubs, an all encompassing trip

Darwin Barney, Gold Glover!

There wasn’t much to celebrate this year as a Cubs fan, one thing you can hang your hat on is the outstanding defense from Darwin Barney. Today that defense was recognized as MLB awarded Darwin Barney the gold glove at second base in the National League. Barney is the first Cubs player to win a Gold Glove since Derrek Lee in 2007, and is the first Cubs second baseman to win the award since Ryne Sandberg in 1991. Barney’s season was highlighted by a record tying 141 straight games without an error, which tied a Major League single season record, Barney made just two errors and posted a .997 fielding percentage. Congrats Darwin!
